We people who are darker than blue
Don't let us hang around this town
And let what others say come true
We're just good for nothing they all figure
A boyish grown up shiftless jizzer
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where it's at?
We people who are darker than blue
We've got no time for segregating
I'm talking about brown and yellow too
I a white girl can't U tell
I'm just the surface of our dark deep well
If your mind could really see
You'd know your colour's same as me
Pardon me brother
As U stand in your glory
I know U won't mind
If I tell the whole story
Now I know we have great respect
For the sister and the mother
It's even better yet
But there's the joker in the street
Loving one brother and killing the other
When the time comes and we are really free
There'll be no brothers left to see
We people who are darker than blue
Don't let us hang around this town
And let what others say come true
We're just good for nothing they all figure
A boyish grown up shiftless jizzer
Now we can't hardly stand for that
Or is that really where its at?
03. Out Of The Depths {O'Connor}
----------------------------------------------------------------
Out of the depths I cry to U oh lord
Don't let my cries for mercy be ignored
If U keep account of sins oh who would stand?
But U have forgiveness in your hands
And I've heard religion say you're to be feared
But I don't buy into everything I hear
And it seems to me you're hostage to those rules
That were made by religion and not by U
And I'm wondering will u ever get yourself free
Is it bad to think U might like help from me?
Is there anything my little heart can do
To help religion share us with U?
For oh you're like a ghost in your own home
Nobody hears U crying all alone
Oh U are the one true really voiceless one
They have their backs turned to you for worship of
Gold and stone
And to see U prisoner oh makes me weep
Nobody hears U screaming in the streets
And it's sad but true how the old saying goes
If God lived on earth people would break his windows
I long for U as watchmen long for the end of night
